ANTIQUE TERRESTRIAL WHITE MOVA GLOBE
History enthusiasts will love this globe's authentic antique world map from
1790 in crisp white and green colors.
The Antique Terrestrial White globe combines a vintage map created in 1790 with modern updates that make it unlike any globe you've had before. Every continent and ocean is shown with absolute clarity and contrast, and it features lines showing the three voyages of Captain James Cook–a design element first created in 1790 by Giovanni Maria Cassini. The map also shows the United States which was very young at the time and not included on many maps. With its smooth, independent rotations, it's like history comes to life in your home or office.

HOW IT WORKS
MOVA Globes combine effortless performance with eye-catching graphics. Each
handcrafted globe mingles vibrant artwork with our patented technology for
flawless rotation without batteries or messy cords. Hidden solar cells use
ambient light for power, while the earth’s magnetic field provides the
necessary torque. These elements work in unison to power a whisper quiet
mechanism, allowing the globe to rotate within a clear outer shell. Each piece
is assembled with such precision, it appears the inner and outer layers are
one – rotating without any outside power source.
